Nicola Caredda, attraverso un pennello a tinte sature, mette in atto una grammatica metaforica, straniante e seducente, che sembra esorcizzare paura e angoscia. Una ricerca tecnica e individuale soggettiva e laboriosa, per riconsegnare alla pittura la rielaborazione del nostro tempo, del proprio personalissimo qui e ora. Il suo linguaggio onirico-visionario attinge liberamente al Pop Surrealismo americano e al fumetto fantascientifico e mostra un’attenzione minuziosa per la resa dei dettagli nella descrizione di una società ormai tramontata e costellata di rovine industriali. Opere che restituiscono un universo disabitato e silente fatto di macerie, detriti post-moderni e malinconici reperti, un’atmosfera sospesa e rarefatta, in cui la natura proliferante sembra riprendersi il proprio posto nel mondo.

Nicola Caredda, and his brush made of saturated colours, implement a ‘metaphorical grammar’ which is alienating and seductive, close to dispelling fear and anguish. This internal (strenuous) technical enquiry delivers an elaboration of our times, of his very personal here and now. This dreamy visionary language sources from American Surrealistic Pop and science-fiction comics; meticulous attention to details to describe a faded society, studded with industrial ruins. His works bear a silent inhabited universe, made of ruins, post-modern debris and melancholy relics in a hanging-rarefied ambience where nature takes back what belongs to her.
